The Jan. 6 protest at the Capitol was not an Insurrection, and anyone with a three-digit IQ knows it. Ascribing that motive to the protesters is not only unsupported by actual events, but illogical as well. An insurrection is an organized violent uprising to overthrow an existing government authority. Since this protest was neither organized, violent nor an attempt to overthrow an existing government authority, it cannot constitute an insurrection. It is supercilious to impute that motive to the protesters, since their only apparent goal was a Congressional review of disputed election results.
One may disagree with their assessment of the integrity of the 2020 election, but it is intellectually dishonest to think or say that this protest constituted a serious attempt to overthrow the entire U.S. Government.
